    Fully dense Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf>–Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>–TiN (ATN) composites were fabricated by reactive sintering using spark plasma sintering at 1400°C for 5 min under 100 MPa in vacuum. An equimolar ratio of Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>:TiO<inf>2</inf> was used as the starting powder, while the addition of 0–36 mol% AlN was investigated. The thermodynamic calculation indicates that the initial reaction was that of TiO<inf>2</inf> and AlN, forming TiN and Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>, and then the remaining TiO<inf>2</inf> reacted with Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> to produce Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf>. With the increase in AlN precursor, Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> gradually decreased, while Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> and TiN increased. The lattice parameters of Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> were enlarged with AlN addition, implying the incorporation of N atoms in the Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> unit cell. The addition of AlN effectively produced fully densified bodies with small grain size, and microcrack-free, which therefore enhanced the mechanical properties of ATN composites. At 36 mol% AlN addition, the composite shows Vickers hardness and fracture toughness of 16.26 ± 1.61 GPa and 5.20 ± 0.46 MPa.m<sup>1/2</sup>, respectively.

    Aluminum titanate (Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf>) is a promising material for high-temperature applications due to its low thermal expansion, high melting point, and excellent corrosion resistance. In this study, the effect of h-BN addition on the properties of Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> composites was investigated. The composites were prepared by sintering a mixture of Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> and TiO<inf>2</inf> at a 1:1 molar ratio, with varying amounts of h-BN (5-20 mol%) added to the mixture. The samples were sintered at 1,500ºC for 4 h in N<inf>2</inf> atmosphere, and the bulk density, porosity, phase transition, microstructure, flexural strength, and hardness of the composites were investigated. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf>, Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>, and Al<inf>18</inf>B<inf>4</inf>O<inf>33</inf> phases in the composites. The addition of h-BN in increasing amounts from 5 to 20 mol% resulted in a gradual improvement in the bulk density, flexural strength, and hardness of the Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> composites. The composite with the highest h-BN content (20 mol%) exhibited a bulk density of 3.12 g/cm<sup>3</sup>, as well as the highest flexural strength and hardness values of 123.6±8.9 MPa and 11.2±4.1 GPa, respectively.

    The porous Al2TiO5/Al2O3 composites were fabricated by reactive sintering at 1500-1700 °C in nitrogen atmosphere. The starting materials Al2O3 and TiO2 were mixed in an equimolar ratio and the addition of AlN was 5-40 mol%. The effects of AlN content and sintering temperature on phase composition, linear shrinkage, pore sized distribution, porosity and microstructure were investigated. The XRD results showed that the composites mainly consist of Al2TiO5 while the peak intensity of Al2O3 increased with AlN content. The median pore sizes decreased with increasing AlN content and were in the range of 2- 6 lm, 1-2 lm, 0.4-0.7 lm, and 0.3-0.5 lm for composites using 10, 20, 30, 40 mol% AlN, respectively. The porosities of ATN10 and ATN20 were from 20% to 10% at 1600 °C to 1700 °C while the porosities of ATN30 and ATN40 were almost constant in between 11 and 13%. The addition of AlN effectively decrease the grain size of Al2TiO5 and led to reduce microcrack at the grain boundary.
